Cellular senescence is a state in which cells permanently stop dividing in response to stress or damage. The term “senescence” comes from the Latin senescere, meaning “to grow old.”

Statistical hypothesis testing is a framework for making decisions about populations based on sample data.
The test statistic \(t\) for comparing two means is as follows: \[t = \frac{\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}\]
Where \(\bar{X}_1, \bar{X}_2\) are sample means, \(s_1^2, s_2^2\) are sample variances, and \(n_1, n_2\) are sample sizes
A note on P-values: \(p\)-value = \(P(T > t)\), where \(T\) is the test statistic under the null hypothesis. A small p-value (typically \(p\) < 0.05) indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading to its rejection.
Let’s get an idea of the reasons behind the inclusion of genes in the GenAge database. The dataset contains a column named why, which provides insight into the rationale for each gene’s inclusion.
